SAUCED.

Sauced offers a delightfully unique dining experience! This stationary spot, cute like a food truck and nestled perfectly between buildings, has a charm all its own. Their menu is refreshingly short and simple, which works perfectly to highlight their delicious offerings. While drink options are limited to water and Sprite, it's better than nothing and gets the job done. I highly recommend the Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and 'The Fry'—loaded with pulled pork and BBQ sauce—is an absolute must-try! A quick note on the practicalities: Parking was quite challenging to find, especially with the ongoing construction out front. Also, due to recent rain, the outdoor seating area was soaked. However, these are clearly not the fault of the restaurant itself and don't detract from the fantastic food and concept.

Cute hidden away spot for a quick bite. The burger hit the spot with a crispy smashed patty but the chicken is a little on the dry side. Could be seasoned a little more

I’ve been there twice now and have plans for our next visit to this wonderful burger place. For starters, the service is very, very good. The tables are all outdoors and food is served and cooked from a stationary food truck sized building. We’ve been treated exceptionally well both times. The burgers are cooked to perfection. We’ve gotten the single-hand burger. Fries are abundant. I’ll advise that you share them with someone else. Unless you like fries a lot, you will be overwhelmed by the amount that you get in each order. The sauce for the fries or a combination of ketchup and barbecue sauce, which is very very delicious. When I get a craving for a hamburger, this is where I will go.

Absolutely amazing food! Hidden Gem! All homemade sauces and seasonings. Top Quality meats and potatoes. Fluffy and tasty fries. Insanely delicious Ketchup. The nicest staff. RUN! Don’t walk to go try this one of a kind burger and fry spot!!! 🤌🏼🤯🤤

Been here a few times now since it's closer than the Town Topic alternative for when you want that smashed burger fix. This is better. Yeah, I said it. Even the SALAD you can order is topping heavy and the lemon vinaigrette they supply is outstanding. The burgers are awesome, I don't know what cheese they stock but it's great. Huge I'm talking 5 Guys HUGE portions of hot ass fresh fries. Ventured out the other day for the fried chicken sandwich and it was so juicy I should have got the bun on the side just to walk 5 minutes home. Not complaining, that's 6-star behavior. Sure, it's hard to locate and I've seen taco trucks bigger than this but whatever they're doing I'm happy they keep doing it. MMB sauce and the house ketchup are hits.

Temper your expectations. I am honestly unsure how this establishment is rated so high. Arrived at the location and only 4 people were in line ahead of me. Proceeded to wait 27 minutes before I was helped at the window. Placed my order, and found out that they do not accept contactless payments, and to add to insult, the cashier stated that they can accept cash, but can't give you change. I mentioned that they should update the various platforms that state that they accept contactless payments and he simply dismissed it, and repeated, only physical card. Another 20 minutes later my food was ready. I ordered the two hand and fries. The burger is definitely not a two hander as the description indicates and the size is on par with the likes of In-N-Out double double if anything. The burger had some seasoning, but there was a complete lack of flavor other than the subpar aioli. The seasoned fries were nothing special. Other than being hot and fresh, there was nothing of note about them other than the lack of consistency of the seasoning. Some fries were heavily coated with salt and spice, while others were void of both. For just shy of 20USD, without any drink or any condiment to note, there are much better options than this to be found nearby. The dipping sauce, or sassy sauce they call it, is meh. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, nothing special. The food was edible, not a good value proposition, and service was horrendous.

Talk about a hole-in-the-wall! I couldn't find them even with Google maps trying to guide me. This humble shack situated in the courtyard between the Acadamy Bank and an office building off of 19th Street, and hides one of the best burgers in Crossroads. They also boast the best chicken, which I've heard is excellent. I got their one handed burger, and it's larger than what the name suggests. I also really enjoyed how thick the meat is. Their fries are extra, but there's more than enough to share with a friend. The courtyard features standing tables and places sit for lunch, but depending on how busy it gets you can easily take it to go.

Tasty food, very cozy outdoors. The Two Hand with pepper jack cheese was delicious 10/10. Buffalo sauce wings were great as well. Quick and flavorful, bang for buck.

Fries, shredded BBQ, and tasty sauce. There was a lot to live in this dish. They were quick and professional. The area was relaxing and quick to grab and while strolling around the area.

Had the portobello sandwich, fries, and a side salad. The prices were reasonable, but the only high-quality item was, regrettably, the salad. The sandwich just didn't have much flavor, and while the fries looked good, they weren't crispy enough for me and tasted just ok. Not worth another trip, and I wouldn't advise it unless you're already in the area.

We ordered take out for lunch. Three burgers and two fries. The guys in the truck were friendly and had the food ready to go when I arrived. Location is in between two buildings and on the map it looks like it's down an alley, but it's actually in a nicely kept patio/breezeway between the buildings. It also has a nice gate that blocks the cars/street view so you're really tucked away in there. Would be a great spot to grab lunch on a nice day and enjoy the sunshine on the patio. As far as the food... the fries didn't hold up for take out but would probably be good if eaten right away. Seasoned well and good portioned size, but like warm and soggy by the time we got to them. I would give them a 2/5. The burgers were a different story- 4/5. The buns held up under two smash patties and plenty of juices and sauces. Yum. I'll grab a burger again. Bathroom Situation- No idea. Assuming you go into one of the adjacent buildings/businesses to use the loo.

Some say it's better to do a few things well than many things poorly. Sauced.'s menu lists a couple of spicy chicken sandwiches, a few burger variations, chicken wings, chik bites and a couple of sides. That's it. The spicy chicken is spicy. It's not for me, however my friends who like such things like it. The burger is one of the best in town. The wings are top notch. A note - only outside seating is available. Come hungry.

BEST. SMASHBURGERS. EVER. We stopped in Kansas City for an overnight stay and were famished after a long 6-7 hour drive from Minnesota. My husband had a hankering for a smash burger, so off to Google I went and found SAUCED. Funny thing is, we're from DFW, Texas and there's a smash burger place in Grapevine that's also called Sauce'd! I ordered online for pick up not realizing that there weren't any true nearby parking lots and I ALSO didn't realize that it was a food stand! Regardless, my husband dropped me off as close as he could and I walked between some gates to find myself at a nice looking food stand in between two buildings. The order I had placed just a short 15 minutes ago was already ready for me! My husband got the double Patty smash burger and I got the single -- both with pepper jack cheese. I also ordered some chicken tenders for my kiddos. The kids ate UP the tenders while we were in the car and I stole a teeny bite. It WAS good. When we finally got to our hotel, we SMASHED our smashburgers because it was honestly the best smashburgers we've ever had. We were so shocked at how good it was and how it was even better than our Sauce'd back home. We almost wished we ordered more so that we could heat it up the next day! If we're ever in KC again, we'll definitely be making another stop here.

When two KC foodie titans collide to form a supernova transformer donut-burger, you can't miss it! This blasphemy of a sandwich was a classic SAUCED burger patty, meaty, and just thick enough topped with melted cheese held together by two glazed doughnuts brought to you by donutology. This is the ULTIMATE guilty pleasure, and privacy is advised when consuming, or you can be a show-off like me and down it on the patio in the sunlight after a hot yoga class. I was in absolute bliss eating this donut-burger, one I don't think I can reach solo.

still one of the best burger spots in Downtown KC . Best Burgers in KC !!!!! Love the concept and everything on the meal . never disappoints !

Mmmm I'm still thinking about the chicken sandwich I had at Sauced recently, and it's been a few weeks! Firstly I should say that Sauced has been on my list for a long time and I just happened to be in the crossroads when a meeting ended just at the right time to get something to take home with me before another meeting. I quickly pulled up Yelp and saw that Sauced wasn't far from where I was so an online order was placed and I was on my way to pick it up. Something to note is that Sauced is somewhat hard to find. I drove to where Google said it was and after driving around the block twice I just parked and started walking towards the dot on my screen. Turns out the dot was correct and it's kind of hidden in this courtyard off the main road. I'm not sure what they could do to improve visibility, but I was a bit lost for a minute before I found my way there. Once I was there it was easy to pick up my to-go order and I was on my way in a jiffy. At home the sandwich was really amazing. No notes, 10/10 would eat again. The fries did not hold up well to transit through and while not bad, were not the crispy goodness I was hoping for. I'd like to return to dine on one of their picnic benches (it's a food stand) to really try everything super fresh, but since it's kind of set up as a takeaway spot I do wish the fries were crispy enough from the onset to withstand 15 minutes in a bag. All of that aside, you come here for the sandwiches and they are probably one of the best in town. I'll be back!

First, hope you have the time to drive around a little bit to find this place because it is tucked away in a seated area. I think i had to go around the block a couple of times to realize where this was located. There also isn't any designated parking so you'll just have to hope you get lucky getting a parking spot nearby. When I arrived, the line wasn't too long but it certainly took a while for my order to get in. When you check in on Yelp, you get a coupon of 20% off your first order. I showed this coupon to the person taking my order and they looked extremely confused and said they weren't on yelp and that they don't accept that coupon. I finally just said okay don't worry about it, exited out of the coupon then he was able to find where he could apply the coupon but it was too late by then :// Let's jump into the food. Make sure you come here with an appetite! The two hand burger was huge, greasy, salty, fattening. I managed to finish my burger but was extremely bloated at the end.. probably because of all that salt (not a bad thing) The seasoned fries although they looked seasoned.. they didn't have much of a seasoned taste, tasted almost unseasoned? Their sauce is what makes it. I wish i could describe what their sauce tastes like but dip your burger in this sauce!! it tastes waaay better with the burger than the fries. Overall, I would come back to Sauced. Their burgers were juicy, greasy, saucy, fatty... everything you want in a burger.

Delicious Burger shack with outdoor seating. Definitely will be back. Menu is super simple. Pictures worth a thousand words right? Well mine was the 2 hands burger, flavorful and greasy good lol. Side of seasoned fries with a side of garlic aoli.

Hidden gem! We were wandering around and just happened to find this place by following our noses. Great service, great food.

Messed up my order ordered chocked sandwich with mushrooms got onions all over my sandwich they don't have a number to call I got the food on my lunch break back at work and I can't eat this it's covered in onions and no one to reach out to big let down

This burger blew my mind. Super cool location downtown. And food was hot as soon as it was called. Absolutely worth going here.

Super disappointed with the customer service. They gave us the completely wrong order and when we went back to get it swapped, the cashier started to gaslight my husband saying that that was what we ordered. The sandwich that he rang us up for was way more expensive too and he didn't even get us refunded the difference. Will not be going here again. Food was mid too.

Great burgers! Service is quick and the workers are always nice. Great atmosphere! The fries are the absolute best! They come in a big bag so can be shared between two people! When I order take out and drive home the buns are never soggy so 10/10!

The One Hand is like the perfect burger. It reminds me of a homemade burger, the crisp ends on the juicy beef patty make you forget that there is not mayo or mustard and none are needed. It's a one man show and he's rocking the joint Located at the crossroads rail stop, customers can walk through the garage for quicker access.

Ok, I really hate to give Sauced two stars, but this visit unlike in the past left something to be desired. I ordered 2 two hand double smash patties and an order of fries. I omitted the dijon aioli and added ketchup instead (fyi:the specialty house ketchup is too sweet). The burgers were extremely sloppy and the bun literally fell apart. It seemed as though it was made 'any-old-kinda-way' (all the meat was on one side of the bun) which was a huge let-down and to top it off, the prices apparently have gone up which is understandable, however the website needs to reflect the price change. What should've been 20.25+ tax was around 9.00 more which put the check at nearly 30.00. Of course I paid, but was only expecting to pay what the menu reflected. My burger was NOT good at all; what a waste. I realize every cook has his/her own spin on preparing food, however how difficult is it to throw burgers on a grill and neatly place each topping on and add a bun? I'm unsure of what happened, but it left a hot taste in my mouth, literally as it seemed the top on the pepper fell off thus spreading waaay too much pepper on the burger. I'm just not certain I'll return. The previous visit was 'on point'. Consistency matters, just sayin'. That's it, that's all.

Perfect night for a burger on a patio and a quick search near me brought up sauced. 20% off for first check in even better. Little bit of a line but they were flipping those patties faster than a black Jack dealer. Added a salad for a balanced meal, but than uh oh hit a little snag. They do not do the 20% off check in. No matter, still tasty and still had my burger on a patio experience. Love the concept, tons of seating and "egg shaped" swings that give the space a laid back feel. Small menu but big on flavor.

I have been dreaming about sauce for about 2 years since I started following them on social media, and I will continue dreaming about these sandwiches for the foreseeable future. Conveniently located in a fun little alley/courtyard mere steps from the street car stop on 19th with lots of seating. Honest and true shout out to the one employee who was running the register and doing all the cooking -- the food came out super fast, considering. The blackened Cajun chicken sandwich was crispy, and the bun was perfectly fluffy and buttery. The burgers had perfect crispy smash burger edges. And don't forget to order sauces like we did on the first go. We loved the garlic aioli, house sauce, and sassy sauce. Great vibes in the courtyard. Can't wait to adventure back here. If I worked downtown I would be here for lunch too often. Parking in crossroads is often nightmare-ish, so I recommend taking the streetcar and incorporating sauced into a trip downtown with other destinations

I was in a rush to pick and didn't read anything but the food type, rating and location. A little surprised to find a "permanent " food truck in a tucked away alleyway. Absolutely loved it since the weather was nice. We ordered 2 burgers and a portabella. The fry orders are huge and we only needed 1 but ordered 3. We asked for some sauces but didn't get what we asked for. No biggie

After I let some of the initial exuberance die down I would just amend the stars to 4 instead of 5. A very good burger but not top notch on size or total package at this price point. Everything else I wrote is still correct.

I almost hate to leave this review. I've raved about SAUCED in the past. Tonight may have been an off night, but my chik bites were plain and overcooked. My burger was woefully salty and bitter. It was almost inedible. Maybe there are new cooks? Not sure, but I will definitely give it another try in the future.

Menu online and in person is not the same so heads up if you have your heart on something! Very limited options. If you're after a traditional burger, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a spin, smoky pineapple ketchup and interesting flavor combinations, this will be great. Service was great, courtyard is cute!

The food was delicious and priced well. The only problem is the wait time. We went during an event and ended up having to wait for over 30 minutes for 2 burgers and fries. I believe they have online ordering with pick up. I highly suggest looking into it.

It was good--I honestly would prefer Chickfila since I think their buns are softer and their chicken tastes better/crispier, but this is a good alternative and worth trying! I especially liked the outdoor area since you could work or bring your dog or just relax while eating a burger! I will be trying this place again to see if maybe the chicken is crispier next time I go...not sure if it was a one-off thing!

This place is incredible. Honestly I couldn't believe this had a 4 star. I came here 3 times and on the third I decided I had to give the place a review - I read some of the lower reviews when I pulled up yelp and I was genuinely offended lol. This place has a unique food truck style vibe (out door seating only so mind the weather) the aesthetic is legit: modern, hip, spacious, unique , plus it's kind of tucked away so it gives off a local only hidden gem type of vibe. Perfect for brining a date. In addition, every time I've been here, the owner himself is serving food and taking care of things. There is a certain "flavor" that comes with having the owner of a place in the actual in and outs of the place that adds an extremely rare level of pride in service. 10 out of 5! And anyone giving this place lower than a 4.9 is an ungrateful communist who shouldn't be allowed out of the house.

Inside a pavilion off of 19th you'll find the Sauced truck! Great ambiance and fun seating options to hang out while you eat. Great service too - only one employee was working but our food came out fast and hot. The one hander burger was super delicious - classic smashburger perfectly cooked. My girlfriend got the cajun buttermilk sandwich and gave it 5 stars. The seasoned fries are delish (one order is more than enough for 2-3 to share) and the garlic aioli was the standout of the sauces we tried!

Best smash burgers ever! Great flavors, friendly service, and fast prep. Looking forward to going back!

AmaIng service. I didn't catch his name but I came before closing on Wednesday and he was super understanding and kind. The two hand burger was packed with flavor. The fries were well seasoned and crispy. Definitely would come back

LOVE sauced, great lunch time bites. I love the chicken bites, wings and burgers. The grilled chicken sandwich has a delicious aioli sauce. Fries and sauce are also amazing!

Sauced may be one of the most secluded lunch spots in town. It is in the heart of The Crossroads near 19th and Main, but in a back alley between a bank and Corrington Station with very little street visibility. The menu is about as small as the walk-up building itself. Burgers, brisket and chicken sandwiches, wings and fries are featured. I went with the single smash burger with bacon and cheddar cheese and a side of fries. The fries had a black peppery seasoning and the burger was thin, cheesy and juicy with 2 thick slices of medium cooked bacon. A great little lunch. The alley has plenty of seating, but that won't work for the winter months. Plan on getting it to go. This should be a crowded little lunch spot come nice weather.

I can't believe that I didn't try sauced sooner and I will for sure be recommending this to friends. They are serving fantastic food (& doing it out of a tiny hut!). The service is fast, the food is fantastic, and the "Parc" surrounding the truck gives a great place to lounge for lunch. If you can't find it, don't give up. It's set back from the street, sandwiched between the bank and corvino.

Delicious crossroads burger place!! This is a hidden gem! tucked away offering lots of outdoor seating or takeaway. Fresh, consistent, some of the best burgers and fries in KC! They offer unique dipping sauces as well. I can't wait to go back!

Wow the smash burger was amazing and the loaded fries were amazing too the beef brisket was amazing and it was really fast

We happened upon this downtown gem and were not disappointed! This hidden little outdoor pop up has everything I need in a burger - heft, grease and fixins. The service is quick and efficient, fries hot and the sauce is phenomenal. There's spacious seating, hanging egg style chairs and an overall harmonious vibe. The KC loaded is one of the best burgers in KC. I love meat I can barely get my hands and mouth around. 100 percent recommend. There's generally a line (worth it!), but it moves fast. You can order for pickup and eat there if you don't like to queue.

Woah... great little lunch spot outside of Corvino! Probably the second best burger I've had in KC (slightly behind Cosmo Burger) and great steak fries. Prices are more than reasonable, and fries are only $2.50 for enough fries for 2-3 people. The ketchup was definitely homemade which I don't typically love, but there's was phenomenal. According to other reviews, I messed up not getting a side of ranch as well. I had the Two Hand Burger, and it lived up to its name - large and in charge! Friendly service and a charming outdoor seating area. Escape the hustle and bustle of the area for a relaxing and satisfying lunch. This mat be a new go to when I'm working in the office!

This place is a cool spot right next to Academy Bank. Didn't really hear about this spot until I saw so many good Yelp reviews. I got the one handed cheese burger. It was perfect and goes well with the fries. Their food were made fresh so it wasn't fast but the food did delivered in taste and customer services. Would definitely go back.

We were super excited to try this place out and left feeling underwhelmed. We ordered 2 burgers and fries and ended up having to wait almost 25 minutes when there were only a few other people ordering at the same time. We ended up feeling rushed to eat since we did not expect it to take so long. My husband liked his burger but mine was a little over cooked and dry. Maybe we will give it another try in the future, but not any time soon

FLEW ALL THE WAY FROM SEATTLE Had high hopes it was MID. I wanted to have high hopes for it but DOSNT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS the buttermilk chicken sandwich was black, old oil, and tasted a little burnt. sandwich was super small nothing like the photos. Lady was Rude as helll said thank you, no response super aggressive whole time they looked depressed. wings where okay fries where okay. Only thing good was the sauce probably wouldn't go again. it's not bad but not good. i guess for the price it's a good deal for 60 bucks. chick bites where mid Dry and over cooked. looks can be deceiving

NOTE: I only updated this review because I thought my original review had been deleted. This stand was the epitome of "looks can be deceiving". Tucked away in an alley by Corrigan Station, I was so excited to try this place and the food was so picturesque. That is why I was so disappointed. Everything looked right and smelled right. The fragrance of burnt butter had me excited for a toasted bun. Instead, the bun was slathered in butter, warmed, and soggy. The burger patties themselves were doused in some form of black pepper seasoning that could not be shook. Each bit was as if someone had poured a shaker of black pepper directly on my tongue. Sadly, their chicken used the same seasoning. Just an abhorrent, bold, lingering spice blend. The toppings on my burger were off and there was nothing "sauced" about my burger except for the grody butter. They also went a solid half hour without changing out the fries so they were frigid and limp. I was thankful for something to soothe the burn of the burger. Ironically, the one thing on the menu listed as "seasoned" was the one thing on the menu without any seasoning flavor at all. I have had over 100 Kansas City burgers and I can easily say, this is the worst. Why anyone would think it's a good idea to do grossly over-season a Patty like that is beyond me. The awful burn of that sandwich is not something I'll soon forget. I did not know such picturesque food could be so awful.

Solid burger joint. The burgers are dense, to the point where it's hard for me to include any side with it because it's so much. Not a bad thing! Kind of too greasy for me, which adds to the heaviness of the burger. The flavor behind the meat it is rich; the accompanied dressings help bring that out even more. They don't have a large menu, and unless you're walking around the area or can find parking close by, it is a hassle to get to. All in all, a good place for a big burger.

Sauced was awesome! Great location! Oscar was awesome, he let us try the monthly yummy peach barbecue sauce. There is a new sauce of the month every month, so will define you be going back!

I move in two weeks and literally came back for the ranch and the great customer service. I was happy to see the guy behind the counter had help today. I placed my order and let him know what I wanted and then told himI needed two ranches (it's crack). Sadly they were out but he told me he would make some for me on the spot. You know when you go back to a restaurant twice and the second experience will never beat the first? Well the experience was even better.

Best burger and chicken sandwich around! Make SURE you try ALL of their homemade sauces, they will not leave you disappointed!

Holy cow KC!!! Get ready for some crazy, amazing flavor! I am so mind blown by the flavor profiles this place has brought to downtown! Cajun fries are a must! Their sauce is so sweet yet tangy and allows versatility to the burgers, fries and, chicken they have on their menu! Their chef and staff are so nice- they will come out and ask you how your meal was and make sure you are 100% satisfried! Thank you sauced for making my Saturday extra special! Definitely coming back

I'm glad Sauced is in KC. This black owned restaurant is making a menu that is undeniably delicious. Whatever you get, make sure to add the sassy sauce. You can thank me later but this sweet/tangy sauce is finger licking good. Ordered the two-handed burger and my goodness these Smash patties were fried to perfection. Also tried the wings and added the sassy sauce. These wings were fried hard just the way I like them and extra saucy!! This restaurant is located in a courtyard off of 19th and Main. If you're headed north on Main you would make a right on 19th street and it sits behind the gated courtyard. You can't miss the trailer with "sauced" on the front. I love unique spots like this that aren't your traditional brick + mortar. There is a bit of a wait for the food as everything is made to order which is preferred in my opinion. The food is fresh and piping hot. Off street parking is available but I would take the street car if possible. Plenty of seating in the courtyard for you to eat and enjoy your food. If you haven't tried this spot, then you need to!

The food was amazing although the place was hard to find it was well worth the search

I've been following Sauced on Instagram since their grand opening in October and after two months of dying to try it, I finally was able to stop by. Their hours had not been the most convenient as they aren't open all day, but they have slowly expanded their hours to include most lunch and dinner times. I ordered the two hand burger with an order of seasoned fries. It was definitely the best burger I've had in KC! The flavor was great and I love a thicker patty. You have to grab the sassy sauce and house sauce for dipping your fries. The buttermilk chicken sandwich also looked great, so I'll be back in the near future to give that a shot!

Run, don't walk, to get one of the best hamburgers (or chicken sandwiches) around. My daughter and I just stopped here after a long morning of doctor's appointments and were not disappointed. The hamburger is juicy, flavorful, fresh and delicious. My daughter could not stop raving about her chicken sandwich (and she is a bit picky). Things to know: Park in the parking garage for the office building on the north east corner of the intersection - the food truck is out the back door. If the weather is nice, there are lovely tables. Lots of space. They serve house made ketchup. It is delicious. If you are a hard core fan of the bottled stuff, bring your own packets. Bring some hand wipes, the food is a little messy (in the best way possible), and you will want to wash your hands before driving home. This is a FOOD TRUCK. Do not expect full restaurant amenities, but if you can be just a tiny bit flexibile about those things, you will be rewarded with super tasty burgers and chicken sandwiches. Oh, and we were served by the owner, who is clearly super conscientious about the quality of his food. I left with not just a full stomach, but a warm fuzzy feeling.
